usage of mistalai package is out of date for current version of mistalai #5

Description

@spam0115

Installed on a new machine. It seems to be using mistralai verison 1+ but the installer downloaded mistralai version 2+.

windows-use imports Mistral the old way:
from mistralai import Mistral

But mistralai v2.0.0 (released March 2026) moved that import to:
from mistralai.client import Mistral

When windows-use was installed, pip pulled in the latest mistralai (v2.x), which is now a PEP 420 namespace package — that's why the error says (unknown location). The package "exists" but Mistral isn't at the top level anymore.

windows-use.exe --provider ChatOpenRouter --model deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731 --max-steps 40
